Show dump time

[jnvsor]

Well generally kint dumps will be in a web page, in which case all the timestamps would be the same (Or at most off by 1 second if it crosses the boundary during the run) In that case I'd say just stick a timestamp on the page, or override RichRenderer::postRender if you really need it for some specialized logging solution.

The only use cases I can think of for rendering the timestamp on every dump would be if a page is loading really slowly and needs to be debugged, or when you want to measure much smaller time differences than your examples would show anyway. In both those cases we have a microtime() plugin that does the job.

There's also the case of dumps that take a long time, and then there's a question of whether the timestamp would be at the start of a dump, at the end of a dump, or halfway through between the parse and the render. The explicitness of calling microtime() means you (as a user) don't have to worry about any internal timing issues.

Can you think of any special use case where this would be necessary? I wouldn't mind adding it to RichRenderer as an option if you can, but I think it would find more use in TextRenderer where it might be used in logs and the like

I think it's may be useful when developer not sure, dump was executed right now, or an hour ago, when content may be same. Sometimes i want to dump into html file like @d();, with good formating, when cron works, or incoming web-hook

As an option will be good) If it not very popular feature request - i override RichRenderer::postRender)

I wanted to add it for text renderer and it was simple enough (And lightweight enough since it only gets used once on postRender) so I added it to the rich renderer too. 3be3e46

I'll push the documentation when it's tagged
